Tamil Nadu Medical Council suspends three doctors in different cases
Advertisement
Alleged for violating laws, the Tamil Nadu Medical Council (TNMC) has taken a strong action of suspending three doctors for various reasons, two of them from Chennai.
The license of the three doctors has been suspended for a stipulated period on five years, one year, and six months, respectively.
The first doctor has been suspended over the violation of the PCPNDT act. An initial investigation by the district authorities has revealed that Ramachandran (55) of Mahalakshmi Nursing Home in Neyveli has been habitually violating the PCPNDT act. He is found to be routinely revealing the gender of foetus after an ultrasound scan. He has been punished with five years of suspension.
As reported by Hindu, the report of an inspection conducted by the Joint Director and the Collector in 2014 was sent to the Director of Medical Services who sent the report to the TNMC.
"It has been pursued since 2014 but we had to check the evidence. We placed it before the ethical committee which took the decision," an official said.
